Benefit from real-time protection

Your virus database will be continuously updated with the latest definitions in real-time via connection to the Avast Virus Lab, so your network will have even new ‘zero-day’ threat signatures as soon as we do.

Simple and convenient licensing

Licenses can be purchased on a per-server basis (rather than per mailbox), for greater convenience.

Technologies

User interface (UI)

The Avast UI has been redesigned to keep up with modern navigation styles.

Remote Assistance

The Remote Assistance feature allows Avast users to connect and share desktops with each other. This may be useful for technical support as well as for general administrative purpose.

Windows 8 compatible

Avast version 7 was the first third-party antivirus software to gain Windows 8 certification, and with Avast 8 we continue our support of the latest Windows platform.

Antivirus and anti-spyware engine

Our award-winning scanning engine protects against viruses, spyware, and other malicious agents, now with a new algorithm that is based on machine learning, which can process new-virus data in milliseconds rather than hours.

Streaming, real-time virus database updates

Each virus signature comes to you in real-time via connection to the Avast Virus Lab cloud, rather than needing to wait for a traditional virus-database update. Your database will be continuously updated with latest definitions.

File reputation system

Now with more than a billion unique files in our cloud, Avast FileRep lets you know whether a file is safe before you open it – determined in part by how many people have the file and how new the file is. The technology is also used internally, to help the scanning engine make more intelligent decisions.

Real-time anti-rootkit protection

Prevents stealth malware ('rootkits') that, when loaded by the computer’s OS, are invisible to ordinary scanners.
